You dream up your own security code . . . and then only have to remember it.

But I don't like the FOB system for another reason. I can envision a group of bikes at a rest stop, everyone chatting with everyone else, no one really paying attention to the bikes.

But you are within 20 feet or so of your bike. Another 'wiseguy' type could jump on your bike, start it, and take off for a joy ride. Wouldn't help that you and your friends could kick his @ss when [and if] he returns.

You've been violated!

You are right, that is pretty much how the new key FOBs work. You never have to take the key fob out of your pocket. When you walk up to your bike the security system automatically disarms. When you walk away from it, it automatically arms.

I think they started using this type of system in 2009? I'm guessing.... But it has been around for a few years
